Abstract: In this paper, we consider a regular curve on an oriented surface in Euclidean 3-space with the Darboux frame mathsfT,mathsfV,mathsfU along the curve, where mathsfT is the unit tangent vector field of the curve, mathsfU is the surface normal restricted to the curve and mathsfV=mathsfUimesmathsfT. We define a new curve on a surface by using the Darboux frame. This new curve whose vector field mathsfV makes a constant angle with a fixed direction is called as relatively normal-slant helix. We give some characterizations for such curves and obtain their axis. Besides we give some relations between some special curves (general helices, integral curves, etc.) and relatively normal-slant helices. Moreover, when a regular surface is given by its implicit or parametric equation, we introduce the method for generating the relatively normal-slant helix with the chosen direction and constant angle on the given surface.
